Abstract

We studied the capacity of anomeric pairs of α-and β-dodecyl, α-and β-(1-pentylhexyl), and α-and β-cyclododecyl glycosides of N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (muramyl dipeptide) to stimulate the nonspecific resistance of mice to intraperitoneal infection of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli cultures. Intraperitoneal pre-treatment with the test substances in a wide dose range increased survival of infected animals. No differences were found between the biological effects of α-and β-dodecyl and α-and β-(1-pentylhexyl) glycosides of muramyl dipeptide. An inverse relationship was found between stimulatory activity and dose of α-and β-cyclododecyl glycosides of muramyl dipeptide during sepsis caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
